Question

Anne bought 3 hats for $19.50. which equation could be used to find the cost of each equation?

Answer 1

19.50 divided by 3

Explanation:

Answer 2

3h = 19.50

Explanation:

First lets define the price of each hat as the variable h.

Next we know that there are 3 hats so we can write that variable as 3h

We also know that the cost of all 3 hats was $19.50. This means that we can set each side of this equation equal to each other.

This gives us the equation 3h = 19.50

If you were to solve for h, you would get

`h = (19.50)/(3)`

Which would simplify to

h = 6.50

This means that each hat costs $6.50
